Re: [cobalt-developers] Second IDE device on a Qube 3?

["Matthew Nuzum" <cobalt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't use a qube, so I can't say for sure, but I can say that in Linux,
your disk devices work like this:
/dev/hda  <-- first disk on first ide
/dev/hdb  <-- second disk on first ide
/dev/hdc  <-- first disk on second ide
/dev/hdd  <-- second disk on second ide
etc.

So if the cube has two ide headers, each presumably allowing two disks (for
a total of 4), the the master drive on the second chain would be /dev/hdc,
not /dev/hdb.

Don't know if this helps or not.
